Description

Method and device for detecting sub-carrier power and radio remote unit
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for detecting subcarrier power, and a remote radio unit.
Background
In a wireless communication system, the forward transmission power determines the coverage of the forward direction, and the forward coverage is usually limited by both the forward coverage and the reverse coverage, for example: if the forward coverage is larger than the reverse coverage, the inconsistency of the forward coverage can be caused, the terminal can not access the wireless communication system under the condition of forward signals, and in the cellular communication system, if the forward coverage is too large, the required forward coverage is exceeded, the interference of adjacent cells can be reflected by the overlapping of the coverage of the adjacent cells. It can be seen that the transmit power is an important indicator to determine in a wireless communication system.
In addition, in a multi-carrier wireless communication system, the transmission power of each carrier needs to be consistent, and the coverage area of each carrier is guaranteed to be consistent, so that the power of each carrier needs to be calibrated when the forward transmission power is determined.
As shown in fig. 1, in a conventional method for detecting carrier transmission power in a multi-carrier wireless communication system, each carrier is processed by a forward transmitter, and sequentially includes a gain adjustment unit 101, 102 in a forward link, a baseband power detection unit 201, 202, a. 601 a total power detection means. A gain adjustment unit 101, 102, for adjusting the gain of the received baseband signal to adjust the power of the baseband signal; a baseband power detection unit 201, 202, for detecting the power of the baseband signal; the power detection unit 601 is used to detect the total transmission power of the base station. As shown in fig. 2, a conventional configuration of a multi-carrier power detection apparatus is provided with a control unit 701, which reads detection results of baseband power detection units 201 and 201, respectively, reads a result of total power detection performed by the power detection unit 601, calculates transmission power per carrier from the total base station transmission power and baseband signal power per carrier, compares the calculated carrier transmission power with a difference set by the carrier transmission power, and controls gain adjustment units 101 and 102 to perform gain adjustment.
Based on this, as shown in fig. 3, the conventional multicarrier power detection procedure is as follows:
1. calculating the transmitting power of each carrier according to the total power transmitted by the base station and the baseband signal power of each carrier;
2. traversing each carrier to judge whether the transmitting power of the carrier reaches the set value of the power of the carrier, if so, ending the process, otherwise, executing the step 3;
3. calculating the carrier gain of the carrier needing to be adjusted, and adjusting the gain of each carrier; then, returning to the step 1;
the existing detection method can theoretically achieve that the transmission power of each carrier can meet the requirement, but has a premise that the gain band of a forward link is flat, and the gains of the carriers are consistent. Due to the discreteness of hardware and radio frequency device parameters, gain flatness of a forward link is difficult to achieve, and particularly for a power amplification device, higher requirements are required to be provided for forward link design and device technology if the flatness in a band meets certain requirements, so that the design difficulty and equipment cost are increased.
